Noble Wilde merino possum quality knitwear from New Zealand

Based in New Zealand Noble Wilde developed the luxurious blend of Merino Possum Knitwear as a by product of the Possum control program in 1992 making the Merino Possum blend an environmentally sound choice, it has simply become an apparel sensation offering luxury without compromise and people are calling it the new cashmere. The possum fibre has a hollow core which traps a tunnel of air providing extra ordinary warmth and because it is hollow it is much lighter than most other natural fibres. There is scientific evidence that an enzyme in Possum fibre helps to combat skin conditions like Eczema, and both Possum and Merino fibres have hydrophobic (water repelling) exterior, and hydrophilic (water holding) interior so will absorb and expel moisture vapour from the external environment and the body’s microclimate between the body and the clothing area, making it fully breathable.
